Betty, 97, breaks record for oldest wingwalker
She has carried out six charity wing walks over the past decade.
In an extraordinary feat, 97-year-old Betty Bromage has set a new Guinness World Record for being the oldest female wing walker. The Cheltenham resident, who broke her own record from four years ago, raised funds for the stroke unit at Cheltenham General Hospital. Bromage, who has been walking the wing since the age of 87, expressed that she finds life dull without such activities and cannot drive or see well due to her stroke.
Despite her speech difficulties, she remains grateful for the hospital's care and inspired by messages she read on a hospital wall. Imogen Sims from Cheltenham and Gloucester Hospitals charity praised Bromage's courage in raising funds for their team.
